Yes, if you enjoy fruity floral scents with a fresh twist.
Benghal by Lancôme is described as a fruity and floral fragrance with a fresh and slightly spicy character. Users often note the prominent ginger and mandarin orange in the opening, followed by a sweet heart of apricot and osmanthus, which many find appealing. The base of sandalwood and musk adds warmth but can sometimes feel powdery. The fragrance tends to be loved by those who enjoy fruity florals, while others find it too sweet or lacking depth. It's often recommended for spring and summer wear, as well as casual daytime outings.
